And I'm back! I promised I wouldn't leave you all hangning and it wouldn't bode well on my conscious. So, you guys get the sequal to Taming the Star--Snap Back To Reality.

You all know the drill. Review. I won't make a requirement for this chapter but I would love to hear from all of you.

Ok ok, now the story.

Summary: And they're back! Kori and Richard are perfectly happy and are waiting for the opportune moment to change their lives forever! But complications are involved; Kori is struggling with herself and certain people want revenge! Take a wild guess at what will happen! Or not and read on.

Remember/Reminder:

Kori/Starfire is now a sweet person (mostly)

Richard/Robin is rich and broke off from Bruce Wayne (reasons Bruce's evilness will be explained later)

Everyone else is as they are,

barring Kami/Blackfire, who is good now. But she's disappeared for a while.

Now the Story.

Enjoy

It was that big wonderful day. Everyone was dressed in their best as they sat in the chapel, waiting for the bride and groom to come down the isle. Men were in suits and tuxes and women went all out, buying expensive dresses for this formal occasion. Lots of planning had gone into this magical day. Garfield and his long time girlfriend, Terra, had taken over finding the colors to the wedding. Rachel had organized the seating so no one's feelings would be hurt. Victor and Karen (or Bee for short) had chosen the music and the arrangements as well as invited most of the people. Richard and Kori had to stick their heads together to make sure no one was left out. Then they all compared work and it suited the bride and groom's liking perfectly. Well, it should since it was their wedding.

Garfield was the first down the isle, in, as he repeatedly said, his manly suit. Terra and Rachel came down the isle together as well. Rachel still held reserved feelings for Terra (a slight dislike for the girl), but it was not apparent as they glided down the isle next to each other. Both of them looked wonderful in their apparel. Richard was next and he stood beside Garfield with a look of anticipation.

Richard stood waiting patiently as he watched Kori glide toward the center of attention. He thought she was beautiful. Her eyes glittered with excitement and joy and she was dressed as magnificently as any queen. She reached the priest and gave Richard a wink that made his heart stop. She stood beside Richard and waited patiently.

Finally the moment arrived. They were to be married at last.

The doors opened and out came Victor, dressed in his manly apparel, looking very cleaned up indeed. He wore his best—well he should, since it was his wedding. He stood beside his best friends as he waited for his life changing moment. Finally the music cued once more and the chapel doors opened to reveal Karen Beecher—soon Stone—dressed grandly in her pure white wedding dress that had pearls intricately sewed into a captivating design.

(A/N: I got you all there. You thought Kori and Richard were getting married.)

Karen made her way down the isle with a grin as bright as the sun as she stood beside her Victor. Funny how much they bickered, yet they were getting married this day. It was a moment that brought tears to Kori's eyes. She was so happy for her friends. They were doing wonderfully and were perfect for one another.

It was strange to think that just two years ago she had met her wonderful friends and they had told Bruce Wayne, Mr. Anders and company to take a hike—which surprisingly they did. Now they were completely happy and not shadowed by stupidity of others. Namely Bruce and company. It wasn't like it was Victor and Karen's happiness that was shadowed, it was—or at least, had been—Kori and Richard's. Regardless of that fact, Victor and Karen also wanted their friends to be happy and Kori and Richard were more than happy. Kori and Richard had a steady relationship, and even though they had been dating for a little over two years, they decided they were not ready for something final. It was really all Kori. She wasn't ready because she still felt restless inside. Something didn't quite settle with her and it had absolutely nothing to do with Richard. It was all her. She wasn't sure if she ever really had said goodbye to Tameran. Something in her kept her uneasy whenever the said planet was mentioned, either by herself or her friends. And then there was Kami. Kori hadn't heard from her for two years and still was having just a jot of trouble trying to place her in a category of good or bad. She was neither right now. And she wouldn't be placed until Kori spoke to her again. And then there was Ginger. They had let Ginger go a while ago, and Kori felt strangely lonely without the cheetah. Yes, she couldn't hold onto Ginger forever, but Ginger was—or had been—a huge part of her life. And now she simply was not. It seemed silly that these things were holding off her relationship with Richard. But if it were unsettled within her, she feared it would affect their relationship and she just did not want to risk that. She loved him too much for that. And he was so understanding about it that she wondered why he even waited for her. He was wonderful and perfect and could have a million girls yet he somehow only wanted Kori. Why he ever chose Kori or how he even saw who she truly was while she was obnoxious, was beyond her. But she wasn't complaining. She just wondered how he could be so wonderful and still have chosen her. She didn't deserve his patience and love.

But it was the same way with Richard. He loved Kori to death, but he knew things were unfulfilled within each of them. Her issues were more blatant, but he still held a gaping hole where his parents should be. It's not like he ever had a real family and he was afraid of what would happen if he tried. His parents had died because he loved them. He could not live with that happening to Kori. It would be too painful to bear and he literally could not live without her. So he continued to date her, while they both had the unspoken consent of not discussing marriage. It would bring too much pain for the two of them. He couldn't understand how Kori could love him through all his flaws though. That was a wonder in itself. He was incredibly obnoxious and definitely boisterous at times; other times he would lose his temper in a heartbeat. Yet she was oblivious to all his flaws—or maybe was aware of them and just ignored them—and loved him dearly. It was quite remarkable that the same girl who used to be labeled the girl with the hottest temper was now the girl with the sweetest nature possible. And her sweet nature and wondrous personality belonged solely to him. That was something that never ceased to amaze him. And the way she stood up to Bruce like he was just another Viana was more than he could ask for. She was his angel and his other half that completed him and he would be utterly lost without her.

But that was not here and now. What was important was the fact that their best friends were joining in a union so precious that it was breathtaking. The joy they both emitted was contagious to their audience. Everyone was wrapped up in the miracle of the union that nothing could go wrong. Nothing could ever go wrong. Perfect. Kori had never experienced a celebration as perfect as this.

They watched as Victor and Karen kissed, sealing their futures forever. Then came food. Who doesn't like food? It was impressive considering all the food was very fancy. First came the entrée, followed by a delicacy, followed by cold soup, which had a main meal covering that. And then a beautiful fancy cake waited to be eaten.

But before all that, during the delicacy, there was a speech. And Kori had been asked to share a few words.

Kori stood before the assembly and flashed a bright smile to the newly weds. "It's really funny. I wanted to come up here with an ultra long speech to say how much I love you guys, but I was pretty sure it would bore everyone, including myself." That caused a few chuckles from the audience. "So I came up here just rehearsing some stuff in my head so don't get mad at me if I can't articulate myself." She grinned at everyone. "I learned a lot from you both, Cyborg and Bee. Cy, you taught me how to maintain patience and you care for me as if I were your sister. I gotta love you for that. And Bee, man—or should I say woman?—" That caused a grin from Karen and a laughter from the audience. "—you are an insane shop-a-holic who had a huge heart and cares for the world as if they were all related to you. You are simply amazing and I am honored to be your friend. My simple blessing to you both is that your marriage be as successful as your friendship. Remember that marriage is a partnership; it is something to be treasured. May you both work together and have wonderful children. Teach them what you have taught me and you will never fail. Remember to believe and have hope in your marriage and in each other and you will succeed. Don't depend on one another, but support each other, as man and wife rather as superior to inferior. If you do all this, I know in the very fiber of my being you will last forever and your love will inspire others." Kori lifted her glass toward the couple. "I love you both and I wish you luck." A chorus of "here here" followed Kori's toast. Both Karen and Victor were smiling like there was no tomorrow. Karen mouthed an "I love you" to Kori and Kori grinned in return as she took a sip from her wine glass. The wine was a little strong for her taste, but anything that made Karen and Victor happy.

Richard stood up in front of the assembly. "As Cyborg's ring man and one of his best friends I decided I should probably say something meaningful, but once again, my beautiful girlfriend has the gift of eloquent speech while I'm left floundering in her wake." He winked at Kori who blushed. "So I'll just be quick and hope I won't sound too redundant. Bee, Cyborg, you guys are the best of friends anyone could ask for. The way you bicker with each other and still manage to come back to each other is a wonder. Make sure you always keep that gift. Don't get caught up in arguments and such, but if you do, always remember you love each other. I know I'm sounding sappy—" Richard winked at Victor who smiled in return, "—but you guys are amazing for each other and I'm proud to be your friend. Congrats to you both." Richard raised his glass in a toast, everyone raised their glasses as well, and all drank.

They all sat down, the soup was served and then came the dancing. Loud, boisterous music caught everyone unaware and men quickly swept women off their feet—but it was usually the other way around—and everyone quickly filled the dance floor.

Kori finally got to Victor's side and was gifted with a dance with him. Victor grinned at her. "Very nice speech."

"Thanks," Kori replied as her cheeks reddened. "It came from the heart."

"As it should," Victor responded. "And speaking of the heart, how is it going with you and birdboy?"

"Robin? It's wonderful; why?"

"You guys are madly in love with each other and you guys have yet to finalize your relationship."

"We're not ready," Kori began meekly as she fingered her promise ring.

"Are you sure you're not afraid?" Victor asked wisely.

"It's complicated," Kori replied, feeling sad and frustrated. But then she cast him a sly look. "Isn't this supposed to be your wedding? The focus should be on you and Bee, not me and Robin."

Victor's cheeks reddened slightly. "I'm just looking out for my sister."

"And she thanks you for that." Kori kissed him on the cheek in a very sisterly manner.

"It looks like birdboy wants his Star back," Victor said as Richard made his way over to their side.

"This birdboy will claim her," Richard said as he pulled Kori into his arms. Kori grinned up at him.

"Ugh, too sappy for my taste," Victor joked and bid his friend farewell in order to snag another dance with his wife.

"So Starfire, are you ready for me to sweep you off your feet?" Richard joked as they began another dance.

"I never thought you'd ask," Kori responded as they twirled on the dance floor.

Little did they know they were being watched closely by a certain someone who sat in a shadowed corner of the reception room. Meet Slade Wilson's daughter, Rose.
